Review: Ghost Energy Drink – Iced Tea Lemonade Flavor

Ghost Energy has made a name for itself by consistently delivering bold, nostalgic flavors that break away from the generic, overly artificial energy drink crowd. Their latest drop – the Iced Tea Lemonade flavor – keeps that streak alive and might just be their most laid-back, crushable can yet. If you’re a fan of Arnold Palmers, Brisk, or Sunjoy-style drinks, this one deserves a spot in your summer rotation.

Right off the bat, the flavor balance is spot-on. It opens with a punch of tart lemonade, followed by a mellow, slightly sweet iced tea finish that lingers without being syrupy. It’s got that classic tea-lemonade blend, but cleaner and smoother than what you'd expect from most energy drinks. Imagine if someone carbonated a fresh Arnold Palmer with just enough fizz to keep it interesting – that’s exactly what this feels like.

Speaking of carbonation, Ghost keeps it dialed in at a solid 5 or 6 out of 10. It’s bubbly enough to give you that refreshing feel, but not so fizzy that it distracts from the actual flavor. Honestly, that middle-ground carbonation really works here. It lets the tea notes breathe and avoids the overly sharp bite that some citrus-heavy energy drinks have.

One of the most refreshing things about this flavor is how natural it tastes. There’s no weird chemical aftertaste or overly aggressive sweetness. Instead, you get a smooth, almost calming blend that makes it super easy to sip. That’s rare in the energy drink space, where bold often means “blasted with artificial fruit flavor.” This one is more refined. It's more tea than lemonade for sure, but the lemon brings enough brightness to keep it balanced.

As someone who’s been hunting this flavor down for a while, I finally came across a site called Energy Drink City that lets you build your own variety pack. No full case commitment – just a mix-and-match setup that’s perfect if you're just trying to sample. I grabbed a couple cans of this flavor and threw in a Gorilla Mind Berry Burst too (more on that one another time). Shipping was quick and everything arrived in great shape.

Once I cracked open the first can of the Iced Tea Lemonade, I was genuinely impressed. I was expecting something decent, but this one hit above expectations. The smoothness, the balanced flavor, the summer vibe – it all works. I’d give it a solid 8.5/10, and honestly, that might even go up depending on the day. It’s already becoming my warm-weather go-to. Ice cold from the fridge, it’s perfect for road trips, the gym, or just chilling on the patio.

I’m also curious to experiment with it a bit. The flavor is clean enough that it could mix really well with a splash of lemonade or even some sparkling water if you want to cut the caffeine a little. Someone mentioned trying it mixed with more lemonade to boost that citrus edge – definitely something I plan to try next.

All in all, Ghost Energy’s Iced Tea Lemonade is a hit. It delivers on flavor without going overboard, keeps the sugar at zero, and still gives you that Ghost Energy kick with 200mg of caffeine and a full nootropic blend. If you’re looking for something that breaks away from the usual fruit punch and candy flavors, this one’s absolutely worth tracking down. It's refreshing, flavorful, and built for summer.
